In this video, Shawn Lasterdiscusses how to unlock the full potential of ProjectTracker by exploring its additional modules. He guides you through features like the Long Range Transportation Plan, Call for Projects, and Project Delivery, highlighting how these tools can enhance project management. The session also covers the integration capabilities with ArcGIS and APIs to streamline data processes.
ProjectTracker allows separate, fully configurable setups for each plan or program (TIP, STIP, Long Range Plan, Call for Projects, Project Delivery), including unique data fields, fund types, phases, and year structures such as banded ranges for long‑range planning.
The system supports advanced project structuring and lifecycle management through linked long‑range and TIP projects, group (parent/sub) projects with automatic financial roll‑up from subprojects, and a
Project Delivery module that tracks milestones by reporting period and supports sponsor updates and admin review.
Robust data handling and transparency are enabled via ad hoc and API-based project import, a nightly refreshed reporting database and API for external BI tools, and optional ArcGIS integration that keeps project maps synchronized with an agency’s feature server for public and internal use.
